[Udpcast] Spanning Tree/udhcpc failure

[Dax Kelson]

Hello,

Can UDPcast be configured to "try harder/longer" to obtain a DHCP lease?
We have spanning tree running on our switches and updcast always fails
to obtain a lease on the first three attempts, then manually telling it
to try again always results in success. This defeats the "preconfigured"
setup.

Looking at the docs for udhcpc, I see:

-T,--timeout=N          Try to get a lease for N seconds (default 3)

Could you bump this up by default to say 10 seconds (or have it tunable
on the cast-o-matic)?

Thanks,
